    Anti Wicking Connectors: Protect Your Cables %%page ...
    Fluid blocking transmission wire (or anti-capillary cable) prevents corrosive transmission fluid, ATF, or water from wicking through the wire strands, protecting sensitive electronics from damage. These high-performance cables use silicone fillers, fluoroelastomer insulation, and special sealants to block fluid ingress while surviving temperatures up to

    Key Features & Applications 
    • Anti-Capillary Action: Stops liquids from moving inside the cable insulation due to capillary action, protecting sensors and connectors.
    • High Temperature/Chemical Resistance: Designed for harsh environments, such as inside transmission housings (e.g., EXRAD 180B/XLE200 or TE Connectivity Raychem).
    • Preventative Reliability: Used by automakers to eliminate failures caused by oil wicking into wiring harnesses, reducing the need for constant maintenance. 
    Construction Details 
    • Conductor: Often bare or tinned copper, sealed with a silica blocking agent that fills the voids between strands.
    • Insulation: Radiation cross-linked fluoropolymers or silicone materials that resist oil, heat, and chemical abrasion.
    • Core: A "blocked" construction that fills spaces to prevent fluid movement. 
    Common Uses 
    • Automatic transmission wiring harnesses.
    • Engine management systems.
    • Oil level sensors and solenoid valves.
    • Industrial motors and pumps. 
    For repair situations, it is crucial to ensure that the replacement wire is rated for transmission fluid immersion, not just general-purpose wire, to avoid further damage.

    What is capillary action in a wire?
    In an electrical cable, capillary action can be understood as water molecules and molecules of the cable jacket attracting each other. And the narrower a capillary (capillary = narrow cavity), the stronger the attraction. But for capillary action to kick in, water must first get into the cable.
